My condolences to her family.
A life well lived indeed.

I don't know how we got together, but one weekend, probably in 1964 or 1965, Vicky and I went door-to-door to collect donations for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Besides supporting a good cause, those who participated received tickets to a "concert" at Public Hall. I guess you would call it a date, although our parents had to drive us there and back, but it was MC'd by Danny Thomas, and I recall that Chuck Berry and Bob Vinton performed. Vicky was always such a happy person with a great smile. I'm glad that our paths crossed.

I transferred to Heights as a Junior and was in a few different classes with Vicky. Never really socialized with Vicky, but came to appreciate her as a genuinely good person.

I remember Vicki as a lovely person in all respects. I agree with Ron: a life well lived, indeed. RIP, Vicki

I remember Vicky fondly, and am sorry for the loss to her friends and family. We were constant companions through part of high school, and went to Woodstock together. We gradually lost touch after that, but started corresponding again about 15 years ago – birthday greeting and a little news and opinion. One of the people who helped make me who I am (in a good way), and with whom I shared some wonderful times.

I am sorry that I did not know Vicky thru the years. She sounds like she was a person who lived a full life. A life filled with many interests ad enjoyed so many wonderful tings that life offers if one opens the door. The world,and her family will miss her.
